Poisons Centre
Head of Unit: Dr C. Roberts
The Poisons Information Centre maintains and distributes
aninformation database designed to help clinicians in
Southern Africa treat poisoned adults and children. All
types of potentially toxic substances are included with
a particular accent on local South African trade names
and natural toxins. The treatment protocols are tailored
for the South African situation. The database is used at
30 treatment centres countrywide and by both the other
Poisons Centres, to underpin poisons advice given to health
workers and the public. It is also distributed to centres in
Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
The Poisons Emergency Telephone line is answered by
the staff of the Poisons Information Centre during office
hours on weekdays, and after hours in the Emergency
Department of the hospital, using the information database.
The Centre collects data on all children seen at Red Cross
Children’s Hospital with known or suspected poisoning.
